Kiera had a few firsts today I'd like to share- 1. first time drinking from a sippy cup (we gave up with the bottle). Most of it got down her front, but she was definately drinking from it : ) 2. First time on the swing at the park-- loved it. 3. first banana- grimaced a first, but then decided she liked it. 4. First time sitting up for 30 seconds (multiple times today) 5. First time putting herself in crawling position (actually, it was yesterday, but today she moved herself a bit buy rocking back and forth and moving both knees forward at the same time. By the way, her favorite babble is DADADADADADA. she only says "maam" when she is upset.
Having Fun With The Dastrup Clan - I've been having fun playing dinosaur Christmas with Benjamin again and again :-) Chad flew down to help Datrups move into their new home which sounds like a very nice place. He drove up with them on Sunday and they arrived VERY tired of travel on Sunday evening. The two little boys were barely in bed and were happy to see Mom & Dad. Monday we (Grandparents/Dastrups/Chad) went to the Mountain and had a picnic, rode ATVs, played some games, took a little hike, and had fun. Little Jacob wasn't feeling too hot so we went back. I fixed everyone apple/bacon pancakes yesterday morning. Mmmmmm. Brett introduced us to a new game last night called 'Mexico' which was pretty fun (especially since I won the second round!)
Last night I went to the Happy Sumo to eat with a few friends. And it was really good. One of my favorite meals I've had in a long time. If you're willing to drop a few dollars for Sushi, go there. There were 4 people and we ordered 4 California rolls. The waitress messed up, and brought us one of the wrong ones, so we got an extra for free. And the mess-up one was my one of my favorites. It had little orange fish eggs on it too. I'm nearing the end of my training at work, and I did my first phlebotomy yesterday. Whitney Smith (co-worker and good friend) volunteered to be my first guinea pig. And I'm pretty much awesome because the manager of the establishment couldn't get her vein when she tried 2 months ago, and told me that if I got it, she'd cry. Yeah, I got it first try. I'm the man. That job is awesome and I love having it. Chad, you should come donate blood. I know you love needles.
We have a new patio. We extended our patio out 6 feet on each side and 3 feet in front as well as poured a sidewalk from the driveway to the patio. Now Grandpa can keep his chairs and lounge on the patio along with our table/chairs and he can use his walker to get around to the patio without having to try to navigate bumpy grass and a vegetable garden. Too bad we have to let the concrete cure for a few days and Benjamin won't be able to play on it while here....at least not play hard on it. Benjamin and Jacob come to Grandpa's house today!!!!! Oh, and I heard from a good source that Dastrup parents made it to Albacu..er....Albaquerkey...er...Albuquerqy...er....their destination.
After 4 years of marriage, we are FINALLY proud owners of dining room chairs. Yes, that's right folks. No longer will guests who come for dinner have to sit on the couch that is put next to the table, or sit on a big executive computer desk chair, or camping chairs. You will now get to sit on real-live dining room chairs AND eat at a table that matches these chairs. If you can't tell, I'm excited. Little Kiera got her shots today. Poor thing. Her head is still 10th percentile, but we found out that Steve's head is 25 percentile so that explains it. And then there is us fat-head Gronemans...
